The Cochise County Sheriff's Office created the criminal interdiction team in March 2022 to catch smugglers, after and increase in activity in the area.
DOUGLAS, Ariz. — A day doesn't go by where Cochise County sheriff's deputies don't encounter a vehicle loaded with migrants.
Lomeli estimates the increase in smuggling has occurred over the last two and a half years. In an effort to combat the increased activity in the county the sheriff's office created the Criminal Interdiction Team in March 2022. He initiated the traffic stop because the driver was driving 10 miles under the speed limit. It wasn't until Oletski approached the vehicle that he saw the people dressed in camouflage ducking below the windows.
“They’re targeting whoever will listen and whoever they can get to come down," Oletski said."One case in particular, a younger-ish single mom just before Christmas said she made the choice to come down here and smuggle so she can buy Christmas gifts for her children.”
